Maalipesu (Cleaning Agent)

Alkaline cleaning and pre-treating detergent for interior and exterior surfaces prior to painting.

Product features

Walls, floors, furniture, doors, building boards, boats, etc.

Cleans unpainted surfaces by removing dirt, grease, oil, wax etc. Also suitable for pre-treatment of hard and glossy paint surfaces prior to painting. Undiluted Maalipesu cleans the surface and generates a matt finish that improves adhesion of the new paint coat.

Latex and other matt paint surfaces can be pre-treated with diluted Maalipesu (1 part Maalipesu, 10 parts water or 1 part Maalipesu, 5 parts water).

Maalipesu is especially suitable for cleaning very dirty surfaces, where strong dissolving power is needed without the adverse effects of solvents. Maalipesu is not
recommended for washing a metal roof or used directly on unpainted galvanized
surface.

Protect glass and other surfaces which may be damaged by corrosion due to alkalinity.

Treatment

Apply Maalipesu undiluted on hard and glossy surfaces by brush, sponge or cloth. Allow Maalipesu to take effect for a few minutes. Wash down the surface with a brush and rinse carefully with water. Undiluted Maalipesu cleans the surface and generates a matt finish that improves adhesion of the new paint coat. Latex paint surfaces and other matt surfaces can be pre-treated with Maalipesu diluted with water to the mixing ratio 1:10. Very dirty surfaces can be treated with a stronger solution 1:5. Rinse carefully with clean water.
Diluted Maalipesu 1:10 can also be used as cleaning detergent for surfaces.
Apply Maalipesu cleaning agent first on a small test area of the intended surface (diluted or undiluted depending on the use).
Some paint surfaces may be damaged when using a Maalipesu mixture that is too strong.
